Im aware he wrote that back in March... , it's over a month ago now... Anyway, I contacted CBRD directly earlier this week, and they didn't mention anything. He just directed me to their ex-supplier... no mention that they will bring something new out shortly... who wouldn't suggest to 'stay tuned' for something new to be released shortly if you wanted business... lol.. anyway... moving on

Numbers are good, but this would really increase the cost of building a Ralliart. $4065 for this kit, about $1000 for an exhaust, $1000 for intercooler and piping, $800 for injectors and pump, $2000 for Dodson or Sidewinder clutches, $2500-3000 (at least) for labor and tune... A well balanced build with clutches and injectors that can handle the power could easily cost $12000.

The kit is meant to replace manifold (because over 50% are breaking), turbo (over 50% we are seeing cracked turbine housings), downpipe (most people replace anyway)- and it can bolt up to existing exhaust, intakes, ic pipes-
many of our RA clients ended up switching from RAD turbos to our larger stock frame turbos- so this was a natural progression-
we are actually installing one of these kits this week on a X with STOCK intercooler, piping, intake, exhaust- and just running E85- should be a monster!

This much torque on a Mustang dyno is really borderline for the stock clutches. Their life would definitely be significantly reduced and car would only be usable with S-Sport. Whether they get changed now or when they fail sooner rather than later, the extra cost for the transmission is inevitable.
Even with the manifold and downpipe, this is still about 3 times more expensive than the old options and requires a lot of extra support mods. It's a nice alternative to the swaps with built Evo X turbos a few people had been using, but it's no longer a value option like the RAD Life/Full.
